This is another tremendous find by @threadinburgh.scot. It's also a powerful reminder that Edinburgh was an industrial city into the late twentieth century - a centre of brewing and distilling surrounded by Scotland's coalfields.

Want to hear more about how interdisciplinary research is helping fuel Scottish homes? Our own CEE Director, Prof @mettehigh.bsky.social and Prof Kenneth Gibb discuss the multiple challenges of fueling homes in Scotland in the 'When Disciplines Meet' podcast www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I'll be on Reporting Scotland on the BBC Scotland Channel at 7pm discussing nuclear energy jobs and concerns about the economic future of Caithness, North Ayrshire and East Lothian. Nuclear has been absent from the 'just transition' agenda despite the Scottish government planning to phase it out.

Did you miss @seansfield.bsky.social at his book launch? Good news - the recording is live! Drawing on years of ethnographic work in Houston, Carbon Capital explores how oil financiers decide what a good investment is, & how they incorporate ethics into their decision making youtu.be/awExtfB4qE0

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

This is a response to the article rather than Gibbs but I personally have made precisely the same criticism of ownership of whisky as I have of ownership of energy (and, as it happens, of salmon - our third keystone export that is also massively foreign owned). www.commonweal.scot/policies/pro...
